*feels terribly inadequate since she can't*

Don't feel bad, sea. I have no doubt that you will find it soon enough, once you start studying theatre.

G7

yay!

...If all the world's a stage, I want better lighting!!


Sea, you're studying theatre? right on, gal. You done any acting before...? You've done stage acting, and stuff?

*pays for viewing*

This is so good - you guys are fantastic!!

*bows* thank you, thank you... the cat is such a complex part...

actually, jade, i do technical theatre. although i did a little acting when i was little...

Wow! Our first paying customer.

Welcome Cafram. Glad you like it. They are quite a good group of actors, aren't they? Did you read their private threads, or are you watching it unfold? Either way would be entertaining, I think.

And welcome Mistdancer. Are you also reading along?

And Researcher ###### (can't remember the number) - if you want to start at the beginning, first read the page that this thread is hanging off of, then start with the "on deck" thread. It will lead you to other threads.

Thank you, Cafram!

The audience is growing, ladies and gentlemen. Let's give them a good show.

G7

*Flips a coin. It lands on the stage, he looks at it and announces*

Heads.

*repeats*

Heads.

*and again*

Heads.

*continues fliping and announcing "heads" til G7 pays attention to him*

Just so, Arl.

You would think this *holds up a juggling ball* would fall faster than this. *holds up a feather*

*drops both*

*juggling ball falls straight to the floor*

*feather flosts down gently*

And you would be absolutely right.

G7

*raises eyebrow* i think i missed something.

I would suggest that you read as much Tom Stoppard as you can, sea.

G7

Rozencrants and Guildenstern are Dead, to be precise

I think the Ball and Feather bit is from the movie rather than the play, though.

Stoppard uses it in both. I think that you're right that it doesn't appear in the actual script for the play though...

G7

I've never /seen/ the play, only read it. I prefered it to the movie.

Me too. Although I am *very* fond of Mr Roth and Mr Oldman. And the actor who plays Hamlet has been seen rather prominently in several recent movies and tv series...

I actually did one of the actor's speeches for an acting class. It's remarkably a-sexual. Except of course for their introduction...

"The Rape of the Sabine Women. Or rather, Woman. Or rather, Albert."

G7

(poor Albert)

not poor woman too?!

The problem is that there is no woman. Albert is forced to play all the female parts.

G7

Albert will need some serious therapy, concidering the kinds of plays they do!
